hi guys i have just bought some marauders and every time i paint them the skin looks wrong, it is bright pink even though i did what it said in the book.
however i decided then to paint them deep blue so they look deamonic, however they now look like SMURFS (ok big m,usly smurfs with flails and horned helmets but you know what i meen :huh: ). Please help me, what coulers am i ment to use?
hey dont look at me like im a newbee ive been painting blue and green lizards for years ok! :P

well since you're new,I woudn't recomend anything too hard.If youre trying ot do blue skin,then dry ultramarines blue,highlgihted with enchanted blue.If you want normail skin,try terracotta higlighted with dward flesh.Allways water your paint down.

if you want to spend a bit of extra time on them i suggest scorched brown, vermin brown, dark flesh, dwarf flesh then a final high light of elf flesh if you want a lighter skin colour. For the blue i suggest, regal blue, enchanted blue, ultramarines blue, then as a final highlight ice blue then varnish the skin to give them a daemonic look, the last part is optional it depends on your tastes

That comment to SNOTLINGZ was a bit odd Kai and I WOULD PAINT MARAUDERS with a coat of dwarf Flesh and then add some Scorched/Vermin Brown using the stipling technique.( i'm a bad painter myself)
